What Does Red Burning Itchy Spots On Arms And Legs Indicate?
Hey I am 13 and have red spotty dots up my arms and legs its really itchy (like a rash) and I know it's not chicken pox (I've had them bad already) but then after I itch it I it starts to burn... Any ideas of what this may be, if so how can I stop it? Or should I just go see the doctors? :)

Hi,
It could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
